It is a matter of general rejoicing in Ontario that Sir James Whitney was able to again take his place in the House at the closing ceremonies on Friday night. He has been fully re- stored to health. During his recent. severe illness, great tributes were paid to this fearless statesman and almost. every church offered up their prayers for his restoration. Regardless of politics, everyone is delighted to know that he has again assumFd the duties of Prime Minister. The following. which appeared editorially in the Toronto Evening News of Tuesday evening, expresses the feeling of one and all :— "It is true of Sir James Whit- ney, if it ever was true of any political leader, that "one blast upon his bugle horn• were worth a thousand men." He is a strong fortress of integrity. He is • pro- gressive and resolute, careless alike of the frown of powerful interests or the threat of preda- tory partisans. For nine years he has been writing in Ontario the best chapter in Canadian political history. Under his ad- ministration, there has been no electoral scandal. There has been neither waste nor jobbery in the departments, There ' have been advances in social and industrial legislation which give the Pro- vince very honorable standing with the progressive communities of the continent. It is cheering, therefore, to Conservatives, and to thousands of Liberals also, to know that his public career has not ended and•that he will captain the Conservative party in the next Provincial election."

Mr, Thomas S.'o:t waited on the Council regarding getting sewer con- nection ole Dieeemal St. EIe was Wyse permission of connecting at his own expense.. The Mayor again brought up the question of printing and euggested that it he pieced in the hands of a committee, CLuuneilior Elliott stared that he had no nt j-ctions wbittever to a committee being appointed and that since rhe Council bed last met, he bad written to many towns in four dif ferent counties of this section and he found that in each and every town the prices paid for municipal printing were higher than in the town of Wingham. Comparison was made as to the amount paid for printiug of 1914 and preceeding years and it was pointed out by the town Clerk that he had bought in large quantities, there getting it cheaper, and, that their were plenty of supplies on hand in some electric light forms that would do possibly three or four years. It was moved by Currie and Young that the Executive committee have charge of printing—carred. The Mayor pointed out the differ• erenoe in the price of the Voter's Liet for last year and previous years. Last year the Voter's List consisted of forty pages, and the rate paid was that set by the Huron County Press Associa- tion, $1,40 per page. This made the amount which was paid $56. There was then considerable discussion as to getting things in shape so that the rate could he struck soon. The Coun- cil then adjourned.. A. H. MUSGROVE, M.P.P.

Be- sides his wife be leaves two daughte're, Oora and Edith at home and One son John of the Sterling Bank, Toronto. Globe Editor Is Right dor Once Looking at the Canadian North- ern deal as a business proposition, it is surely reasonable to ivsiet that the people who take the finan- cial risk of establishing a',wiitiese should have the largest interest in it and the determining voice in conducting its affairs. Applying this principle to the fleet, 1•-r., us .ee what Mackenzie & Mann and the people of Canada respectively have put into the buildiug of the C N. R. system and what they take out. Sir William Matrkenzie and Fir Donald Manu have put in the greater part of their time for eleven or twelve years on the pro- ject. They have not put in a dollar of their own money. It has been frequently asserted that they have taken out much money in the form of construction profits obtained by awarding contracts to themselves without calling for ten- ders in competition. Under the deal now proposed by Mr, Borden they take out sixty million dollars' worth of stock and retain control of the company, because they have the power to appoint all the direc- tors except one. What have the people of Canada put into the road and what do they take out? In their capacity as Canadians, and through the Do- minion Government, they have put in 828,354,000 in the form of cash subsidies to railways now incorpor- ated in the C.N. R. system. They have put in over four 'million acres of land worth at the lowest valu- ation over $20,00(1,000, and they have guaranteed—or will guaran- tee under the deal—bonds totalling $ l04r74G,000. But these c•aloasal stint + are only a part of what the people have put into the C. N. R. system. The i'roviorei have been drawn upon to an artleing extent. Ontario heels given two million acres of land $ •. 825,001) in cam!, arilaa'dtes, and $7,8650,000 in bond guarantees. Qnebeo has given $3 502,000 in cash subsidies. Manitoba has put up $641,000 in cash and assumed the enormous obligation of guaran- teeing bonds for $24,408,000. Sas- katchewan is down for $8,258,966 in bond guarantees, Alberta for $8,719,000, and British Columbia fur $33,175,000. What the do le of Canada people p get iu return for these huge out- pourings of cash, credit, and land ? They get comMon stock of the face value of $40,000,000, but which may never pay any dividends, ah&' certainly will not do so for many years. They get the right to ap- point one director on the C. N. R. Board, while Mackenzie & Mann, by virtue of their ownership of $60,000,000 of common stock, ap- point all th.e other directors. And that is all the .people get for over 8200,000,000 in cash and credit put into the C. N. R. Your individual share of the cash and credit put in—averaged over the country—has been $25. Your individual share of the ownership is 85 in common stock that may never pay a dividend. That is the bargain Mr. Bordeu has made -as your representative.— [Globe Edi- torial of May 4th.] Tory Paper Advises The Orangeville Sun, a good Tory paper, showing streaks of independence through the blue, bas this to Fay of the C. N. R. deal and its member John Best. It would be utter nonsense to say that the action of the Borden Governmeut in dealing with the Canadian Northern Railway is sat- isfactory to the people. It looks like a big fall down by the Govern- ment, and we say all honor to Messrs. Bennett, Nickle, and Burnham for walking out of the caucus room. They couldn't stomach the deal. Puddin'-head John Best of,Dufferin should have walked out also, but didn't. We are safe in saying that ninety-nine per cent. of the farmers of this county are against granting an- other copper .to Mackenzie & Mann, who have already got millions of the people's money. .A.11 the pre- liminary boating and blowing u the t how o Gu ernm v ant would handle Mackenzie & Mann seems to have been just so much stage - play. Let a, itnmber i.f C,anerva- tive papers conte out flat-footed in condemning this particular part of the Government policy and Mr, Borden and his Finance Minister, Mr. White, might back up and handle this question as Messrs. Bennett, Nickle and Burnham did. They are good Conservatives, but, liketrue men, they have placedcoun- try before party. Parliament would be justified in holding up this piece of legislation. It would be high treason against the people for the Borden Government to give Mackenzie & Mann another cent." Death of Howick Pioneer - Word has been received of the death of Mr. Alexander Graham of the tenth con'eseion of Howick. The funeral took placenta Wednesday. Mr.Grahanl was well and favorably known and was a gentleman of excellent quali- ties. Fuller particulars will be given nest week. Davis -Shaw. A very pretty wedding was solemn- • e as ei tz_d.tlberei deice ofMre. 'V• � m. Shaw, 13 . ford St., Wiarton, when her youngest daughter, Mies 'Adige was joined in marriage to Mr. John 3. Davin, druggist, of Wingham. The nuptial knot:was tied by the Rev, E. L Flagg. and amidst the hest of good evishes, 111. and Mre. Davis left on the one n'etock train on a trip to Welland and Niagara, after which they will p their u p i taker residence in Wingham, Death of T. flingston. Brusselites were greatly an' to ict ti yesterday afternoon on learning of the demise of Itir. r Steell T. 11{ngetc h, tt inetnber of one of the (fret families Of this neighborhood, In the early part of the week deeeaeedhad contr acted a severe cold', which Anon developed into taneumonla and resulted in death about 2 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Kingston was 73 years of age. Ile is survived by his wife, three sone and two daughters, Wingham Dry. On Friday, May 1st, our citizens awoke in a dry town. Scott Act does not come into forco until May 1st 1915, but in the interval, we are unlicensed territory. South Huron and Centre Huron have been given three months extention, but the North, none. This is thought to be most unfair by many of our citizens, but there are three different boards of commiseioners, and many men have many minds. Now that Wingham is dry, it be- hooves our citizens, one and all, to adapt themselves to the new con- ditions and to see that no matter what law we are under, that all are law abiding citizens. The Advance has no fear that there will be "blind pigs" in Wingham, because our citizens all respect the law, It is altogether like- ly that all of our hotels will remain open and that ample accommodation will ho given to the travelling public. Ir was thought that the last few days and particularly the last night, that there would be considerable revel- ry in town, but much to the credit of our•hotel keepers, the last day and the last night passed off very quietly. When some fromneigh g Sorin towns s appeared as though they were going to he noisy, some of our hotels im- mediately closed the bars, not desiring auy tuwdyrern around their hotels. When we consider the financial loss to our hotel keepers, they have accepted the change with extremely good nat- ure and have bowed to public senti- ment and are willing to make the bee t of new conditions. 11 they find they cannot make a house pay, they will of course of necessity close, so it behoov- es all of our citizens to assist men, who are striving against great odds to give the strangers within our gates accomodation. A Letter Of Apology. Mr. Christian Johann, Township of Howick. I regret that at meeting of the ehareholders of the South Bruce Telephone Company held at Formosa on the 1S -h of March instant, on ac- count of having hurriedly examined the books kept by you showing your dealings with the above Company, I wrongfully charged you with having improperly used the funds of the Com- pany. On further examination, it is quits clear that 1 was wrong and that you had made no improper use of. the Company's moneys, the items that I then referred to having been erased and never having been n added in the total of the column, clearly showing that they .bad been entered by mis- take and the mistake rectified long armee. l therefore wholly retract what I said and aresg again ex g exprets my regret at having wrongfully charged you as above set forth and hope that those ( who heard ins will accept this state- ment as being true. Dated this 30th day of April, 1014, Nemeth Mol egxie. ANDREW BRODER, M. 1'. The above is Mr. Andrew Broder, M.P,,,who is waging war againet the deadly cigarette. He introduced a bill to prohibit the importation and sale of same. During the session much expert evidence has been given showing the in'quitous Effect of nico- tine poisoning from cigarettes upon the youth of Canada. Tens'bf thou- sands of young men in Canada have been stunted physically, dwarfed mer. - tally and sapped morally through these coffin naile. The Advance be- lieves that more injury has been wrought young men by cigarettes than by bars and sincerely hopes that Ow time will soon come when they will be no more. Mr. Broder deserves unstinted praise from every parent in Canada. & MUM MoMurchy — In Collingwood, April 30th, to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Mc- Murchy (nee Mise Ethel Davidson) a son.
